Sarah Henderson works from a client-centred perspective that puts the person in the lead. She blends that approach with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Sarah holds the NCPS credential and communicates in English with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sarah focuses on common life struggles such as self-esteem, motivation, addiction concerns, grief and trauma. She also helps people dealing with intimacy-related issues, sleeping or eating difficulties, and the effects of chronic pain or illness.

Background and approach

Her practice includes work around ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. Sarah pays close attention to each person's unique story. She adapts sessions to match the issue at hand and the way the person prefers to work.

Sessions aim to be practical and conversational so people can use tools between meetings. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment wounds, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce. Sarah also supports people confronting body image, gender dysphoria, guilt, shame and isolation.

People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental tone in sessions. The goal is to help people feel more able to cope with life changes and to make choices that align with their values. Sarah works online using a range of session formats to fit different needs.

Practical approaches for online counselling

Sarah blends client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people address the problems they bring. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the conversation so they feel heard and understood; it is useful for issues like self-esteem, grief and relationship worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches clear strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will work together with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences and circumstances. That might mean more listening and reflection at first, then adding CBT techniques later, or using a mix from the start depending on what seems most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text-based messaging lets people write between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy lives while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists who focus on achievable changes.
